Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Ordway Center For The Performing Arts
by Jared Fessler - Feb 25, 2026
Some musicals are flashy and loud, but Kimberly Akimbo captivates quietly, drawing you in with humor, heart, and honesty. From the first moment on stage, it becomes clear that this is a story about people — messy, awkward, hopeful people — rather than spectacle.

Review: HAMILTON at KC Music Hall
by Alan Portner - Feb 20, 2026
When the musical juggernaut titled “Hamilton” stormed into Kansas City’s gilded Music Hall this week, it arrives not as a relic of mid-2010s hype, but as a living, breathing re-invention of America’s founding fathers. A decade after its Broadway debut, the touring production proves that the show’s central thesis — that history is urgent, messy and deeply human — still lands with force. Somehow, the national political atmosphere cross-pollinated with the this most special 250th anniversary of the United States.

On An Ark with McKellen Prime- Holograms Onstage
by Howard Sherman - Feb 3, 2026
As I have twice had occasion in real life to sit, essentially, knee to knee with Ian McKellen, my encounter with his digital doppelganger at The Shed was perhaps somewhat less singular than it was for most attendees of An Ark. I have encountered Sir Ian in three palpable dimensions and in those instances he was able to shake my hand and pass me a cup of tea, rather than simply smiling benevolently from across a shallow void.

Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Kauffman Center
by Alan Portner - Jan 22, 2026
“Kimberly Akimbo” is a tiny, idiosyncratic musical with a cast of only nine actors that somehow manages to share the full Broadway experience with its opening night audience at Kansas City’s Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

Review: SUFFS at Providence Performing Arts Center
by Andria Tieman - Jan 21, 2026
White Women in the United States didn’t earn the right to vote until 1920, and Black women weren’t allowed to vote until 1965. This shocking history and the effort it took for women to secure these rights is something many of us didn’t learn in school, but thankfully the musical Suffs is here to fill in those gaps, along with some fantastic songs and affecting moments.

Review: SIX at Broadway San Diego
